Preceding the State election in 1884
Sen. Nichols persisted in not being a
candidate for the Governorship, and
the State administration papers found
him perfect man and good Demo
crat; but now that his candidacy is
tacitly acknowledged by his silence, y
they begin to find flaws and dark spots
in his record. He is solid with the peo-
pie, however no man can be solid
with the politicians, who serves the
people in preference to them.

Why Discharges of Matter From the Ear
Should Receive Prompt Attention.


Behind the ear isa projection of bone
("the mastoid process'') to which one
of the great muscles ('leaders," in
common language) of the neck is at
tached at its upper end. This bony
eminence is not solid throughout, butts
followed out into number of air.
spaces, which communicate with the
middle ear. These "mastoid cells"
have something to do with the sense of
hearing; what this something is, is not
as yet exactly known. From their
close connection with the middle ear,
they are liable to beccm, intlamcd in
such diseases as are accompanied by n
discharge of matter from the ear.
Such ear troubles frequently follow
scarlatina, measles, diphtheria and
smallpox. When discharge of mat
ter from the ear persists for II long
time, with dullness of hearing and
pain C.earachc"), it should receive the
best of treatment, and this without de-
lay.
1t is a most dangerous mistake to c1-
pect child to "outgrow running
from the ear or to think that cure
of such discharge is dangerous to the
health. The contrary is true. Every
such discharge is IL standing menace.
The cells Just referred to may become
intlamed from an extension of the dis
ease. When this happens, the dangers
are increased. The decomposing sub
stances, not finding the way open for
escape, may become absorbed into the
blood, and pyemia or septic@mia (gen-
eral blood poisoning) may follow;
or the inflammation, pent up in o
practically closed space, may by pres
sure produce the most intense pain.
"Noiscs in the head" dizziness
vomiting and delirium, or by extend
ing through to the membranes covering
the brain, set up an exceedingly fatal
form of meningitis When careful and
persistent treatment of the discharge
from the ear does not relieve the symp
toms of inflammation within the "mas
told process" the patient should be
given an annsthetic, the covering ol
integuments and muscle be cut through
and turned to one side, and then the
outer hard portion bone be removed
by the trephine or the use of the chise
and mallet. When the diseased portions,
are thus exposed, rs much as possible
should be removed, and tube inserted
to drain away the discharge which will
form as RAPIDLY us Ii Is made-none

The entire bridge was rooted over and sided
up SO that the timbers were well protected.
The framing timbers were generally white
oak obtained in the immediate vicinity, and as
there was an unlimited supply from which to
select they were fine specimens OF timbers, us
only the best would he used
The timber was hewed or flt-sawed at the site
OF the work, ID all the workmanship seems to
have been cLrefully and neatly done, although
the spacing of certain parts is not very regular.
Upon the final inspection previous to the re-
moval of the superstructure, the timbers were
found to be generally in perfectly sound con-
dition, the only points where decay was discov-
cred being some few points on the tops of the
chords.
The iron for the bridge Is said to have been
made in Pittsburgh, and transported by pack
horses and teams. 1t bears the stamp of Clon-
nyer & Co.. and am informed that firm by the
name was in business in that city at that date.
The blacksmithing was all hand work and done
in Chillicothe.
The masonry of the abutments and piers was
considered to be in sufficiently good condition
to receive the new superstructure. The only
repairs made were in removing and rcsettng
few stones at the bottom OF the central pier,
which had become loosened.
The abutments and piers are built of free
stone in random courses, with smoothly dressed
faces and of comparatively small stones the
courses averaging only about twelve inches in
height Upon removing the loose stones at the
bottom of the central pier 1t was found that the
dressed stoneworS had thickness of only
about twenty to twenty-four inches the interior
being filed with small rubble, well groelted,
which had become almost as hard as the solid
work.
AT the time of building the central pier was
placed in the main channel OF the river, which
is said to have had depth of fourteen or fifteen
feet; since then the channel has changed SO that
ut low water the pier is now entirely on the
shore. The foundations of the pier is said TO
have been built in floating casson, having a
bottom OF double thickness OF timber extend
ing some distance beyond the dimensions of the
pier The two abutments were also placed on
timber foundations.
The buildings that were erected and occu-
pied by the early settlers in the first Capitol of
Ohio have been with scarcely an exception,
displaced, to make room for the more commo-
dious and convenient homes of their descend
ants. There is nothing TO suggest TO the casual
visitor the age and the associations that make
Chilicoihe point ofinterest to persons famil-
lar with the history of Ohio and the Northwest
Territory.
On the southeast corner OF Water and High
streets, however, one may see fine stucco
covered stone house, in very fine state of
preservation. This house was for years the

The mountain over which the rising sun is

the history of the State, from Humphrey Full

common pleas court of Ross County.
am told by old settlers that the view on the
seal was taken from DIR. Arthur Watts farm,
and from part OF IL, now included within the
eastern limits OF the city.
Mr.. Anthony Wake, referred to above, was
born in Norfolk, Va, and was schoolmato ut
Yale of John @. Calhoun.
AT nm early age he was appointed by Presi-
dent Jefferson, to convey to the Doy OF Algicrs,
the tribute exactcd from civilized nations for
the privilege Of trading with the "Barbary
Powers" and this was the last tribute paid by
our Government to the Dey Of Agcrs
Mr.. Wake came early to the State OF Ohio
where he purchased large tracts of land and
was q liberal and public.spirited ctizen-giNing
largely to public institutions and the church.
He often represented Ross County in the
State Legislature rs Representative and SEN
ator and is remembered by the old settlers as
an able writer and speaker.
The best information to hand Is TO the effect
that the burial place OF the celebrated Indian
Chieftain Logan is somewhere on the range of
hills east OF Chillicothe, portion of which are
shown on the seal OF Ohio
Captain John Boggs, who fought In Lord
Dunmoro's war met Logan on Congo Creek,
where Lewis was turned back by Dunmore,
In 1903 this same Captain Boggs settled on the
Pickaway plains and erected his cabin on n
pleasant spot near the elm trees where Logan
made his celebrated speech.
